Implementation and use of electronic patient records in the Brazilian Air Force: a cross-sectional study1.
The objective was to analyze the implementation and use of the electronic patient record in the health services of the Brazilian Air Force. ⋯ The implementation of the electronic patient record in the Air Force was recently done, and just over half of the physicians were trained prior to the implementation. The tool is considered compatible with work processes and has a positive effect on productivity.

Detecting pediatric appendicular fractures using artificial intelligence.
The primary objective was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a deep learning-based artificial intelligence model for the detection of acute appendicular fractures in pediatric patients presenting with a recent history of trauma to the emergency department. The secondary goal was to examine the effect of assistive support on the emergency doctor's ability to detect fractures. ⋯ A deep learning-based artificial intelligence model has proven to be highly effective in detecting fractures in pediatric patients, enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of emergency doctors through assistive support.

Influence of maternal and perinatal complications on therapeutic hypothermia in newborns with low Apgar scores.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of therapeutic hypothermia on maternal and perinatal outcomes in newborns with Apgar score<7 at the 5th min. ⋯ The rate of Apgar score<7 at the 5th min was low, and it was not associated with any maternal/perinatal complications. There was no significant difference in maternal/perinatal complications between newborns who received therapeutic hypothermia and those who did not.

Observational StudyPrevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and predictors of difficult orotracheal intubation.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an underdiagnosed condition that causes recurrent episodes of partial or total collapse of the upper airways during sleep. It is associated with perioperative pulmonary complications. The STOP-BANG is a screening tool for assessing patients at risk of OSAS. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of patients with OSAS during pre-anesthetic evaluation at a hospital and its correlation with predictors of ventilation and difficult airway. ⋯ The study had the participation of 221 patients, of whom 121 presented with a STOP-BANG ≥3, with a prevalence of 54.2%. All patients undergoing bariatric surgeries presented STOP-BANG ≥3. No significant statistical relationships were found between predictors of difficult orotracheal intubation and STOP-BANG ≥3. However, significant statistical relationships were found in relation to predictors of difficult ventilation through the facial mask.
